I have a 2012 snopro i had running a speedwerx pipe and silencer for the last couple hundred miles. The powercommander map seemed to be a little rich on the bottom, in all the sled ran excellent. This weekend i started out the ride with a good warm up as always, the weather was a little warmer at the parking lot but not bad, started up the trail about 1.2 miles and the PTO side seized up. I got the sled home and tore it down today thinking i would see a lean burn down, but what i saw was a piston that looked great on the top and the sides and cylinder were all scuffed up. I believe this to be a lack of lubrication, am i right????
My question is there a way to check to make sure the oil pump is pumping or could it be possible there was an air bubble that causing it to run out of oil? But wouldn't both cylinders seize instead of one side?? There wasn't a broken ring or anything like that, it had to have run out of oil. Has anyone else had any problems like this. One more thing, i had the oil tank off laying in the belly pan on the exhaust side the other day while i was changing out tracks, could that have caused an air buble in the line??? I've been told by a few people to put in a BDX oil delete but i'm not real crazy about mixing fuel all the time.
Thanks for any info or addvise!!!!
